Welcome to 2010. Happy New Year everyone. This month, I’d like to
introduce a site which has collected spoken samples of speakers from
629 languages speaking the same short paragraph in English, some sites
where you can find or share teaching ideas, and a site learners can
use for self-study of vocabulary.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Treasure Hunt. Many learners,
especially in Japan, will tell you that their two biggest problems with
a new language are listening and vocabulary. This month we'll be
looking at some tools available on the Internet to help people learn
vocabulary better and faster.
